Story
His name is Hagrid, he's 2 years and 4 months old. He's neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. He will have his yearly physical in a couple of weeks. He gets monthly heart worm and flea prevention. He is also good with children and cats (he thinks of them as small dogs). He is crate trained (go to bed). He will wait to eat (point down and Go On). He will wait at the door to go out side (Outside or Do you need to go Potty). He knows Sit (or point down for non- verbal), Stay (flat palm up like Stop &#226&#156&#139for non-verbal), he knows to stay behind (still working on verbal, but knows palm pointed towards him fingers towards the ground for non-verbal). If he is wet, he will stand and wait on a towel laid on the floor to be dried off. He is loving, social, food motivated, and active. He would do best in a home with an active family, or to be trained as a service dog. He loves to play and cuddle, he is a super chewer so no plushies unless you don't mind cleaning up stuffing. I am rehoming, because I have a new job that requires travel at least one day a week and though he doesn't mind being in the crate and watching TV, he needs to be in a home where he can stretch his legs more. My name is Lauren and I can be reached at (302)530-3966.June 3, 2023, 6:49 pm

Story
Winter would be great in a home without kids or with older children bc she does great with my older kids that are 10 & 14. She's gentle with the young ones mostly too but her fear makes me nervous around them. she's up to date on her vaccines. She's 6 months old & not spayed yet. My name is Ashley and my phone number is 732-675-9525June 3, 2023, 6:49 pm

Please contact Jim at 410-441-0866 (jim@fur-everpaws.com) for more information about this pet.  This dog is located in Elkton, MD. Visit us on the web at https://fur-everpaws.com/fur-ever-paws-adoption-application to submit an application. Please contact the foster directly at 410-441-0866 (text or call) or via email at Fureverpawsdogrescue@gmail.com Fur Ever Paws Dog Rescue is a small no kill rescue operating in the Delaware/Maryland area. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit that rescues and places homeless, neglected or abused dogs from high-kill shelters in the south into loving, responsible committed and permanent homes. We feel our comprehensive adoption process which includes not only taking the time to match the dog to the prospective new owner but helping to educate that owner in responsible dog care, allows us to find the best homes for our little buddies and the best companions for you! Each week we use USDA certified transports to bring dogs from high-kill shelters in the south to our fosters where they all receive the appropriate medical care and are placed in nurturing loving homes while they await placement in their forever homes. Interested in one of our dogs? Great! Now that you've seen them here, you'll need to go to our website where you'll find our list of adoptable dogs (updated every week). Then, it's just a simple process of finding a dog you're interested in and filling out an application on our site. Once we receive your application, whoever is fostering that particular dog will contact you and do a short over the phone interview to complete your application process. If everything works out, they will set an appointment with you so come out and "visit" with the dog you're interested in (we want to make sure that not only are you a good fit for the dog but that the dog will fit with you). If everything works out, you'll be able to take rover (or spot, or jax) home with you that very day. A couple of things you should know: We can't hold dogs over the phone or via email. Adoption fees vary based on breed. All of our dogs have been vet checked and dewormed (if possible due to age, additional treatment may be needed). We provide a spay or neuter voucher to all of our adopters. &#226&#128&#139 June 3, 2023, 6:49 pm
